You aren’t people - you need to be killed
“You are not people – you need to be killed” with these words, “Golden Eagle” held a regular practice in a Roma camp in Uzhhorod.
Traditionally, for many of our fellow Roma, this is a community which many of them would prefer not to remember. For one, they are all associated with theft, divination and scams. Folk wisdom kindly reminds us with sayings, such as “you lie like a Gypsy”. And yet, there is a tendency observed to further level the positive image of Roma in our lives. In Romantic films as “Gypsy” or “The Gypsy Camp Goes to the Heavens” have sunk into oblivion, and today’s Roma, no matter what politicians say, always to be remember on the eve of elections, discriminated against our fellow members of society.
Our site so far has not been able to learn the reasons behind the pogroms in the Roma camp on the streets of Hranitiy and Marka Vovchka in the Uzhhorod village of Radvanka. According to the locals, two buses of “Berkut” exploded at seven in the morning, 11 January, on the territory of the Roma camp – as explained the police, a practice.
But the results of this “practice” affected dozens of Roma, on which “Golden Eagle” used rubber batons and tear gas, not taking into account that before them were elderly people, disabled, pregnant women and children.
Three days after these events, which clearly resemble a true genocide, most of the residents of the Roma camps did not sleep at home. They are simply terrified of a repeat of the fight, more so, that many of them were threatened not to publicise information of the events of 11 January. Young Roma hide, even from the journalists, and a patient in the last stages of tuberculosis, Yosip Tyrpak, died today in hospital.
